Exporting the Gospel to the world is one of the highest privileges for a Christian, which is why the issue of modesty has to be part of the ongoing dialogue in our homes.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and how we present ourselves to other people can be either biblically inviting or culturally stimulating. The best place in the world to begin building beautiful Christlike pictures of modesty in young lives is in our homes.

The modeling and practice of repentance in the home is at the top of the list of what couples should be doing. And if they are not doing this well, their marriage can only take a limp along, Bandaid approach to death, while accelerating the accumulative frustration that leftover/hungover sinning does to a couple.

Do you struggle with gay acceptance? Maybe you have CAD: Chronological Amnesia Disorder. There’s a reason the younger Christian community does not struggle with the gay problem and you need to know why.

Now before you totally and uncharitably judge me, blow me off, and move on, I recommend you take the time to listen because the souls of many people are at stake, as well as your ability to relate with and connect the Gospel to them. The best place to begin is to take our brief CAD assessment profile test to see if you have the disorder.

You marry all of your future husband, including his mind. Dating, sexual temptation, and understanding each other is an essential and mutual responsibility. Do you know how to know your guy?

Lust does not mysteriously appear in the heart of a teen, as though it came out of nothing. It is part of their Adamic wiring, a sober call for all parents.

Sex is a beautiful thing. A sinful sexual temptation is not. After the fall, every person has struggled with distorted views of sex and sexual temptation. In this chapter, I will be addressing every man’s battle with sex.

Though it would be simpler to place the lust problem in the lap of one gender, it would bring harm to God's Word because lust is every person's temptation.

Have you ever read a blog title, looked at the picture, and moved on to something else? We all have. The blogger has 2.5 seconds to cause the reader to pause, think, and read their content. If they cannot accomplish this in 2.5 seconds, then the potential reader will never break stride.

Gone.

You may have amazing content, but nobody is reading it. There’s a reason for that. It’s your title (first) and your picture (second). If those two things do not tell your story in a way that captures the attention of your potential reader, then you will lose the reader.

I think most of us understand the traditional definition of porn addiction. Typically, it’s in the context of a guy lusting after a girl. Active lust toward another person is still the primary way porn is acted out in our culture.

A backward porn addiction carries a similar idea of lusting, but directionally it’s different. It’s when a person intentionally attempts to lure the gaze of another person through physical manipulation, either by what he/she is wearing or how they look. The motive is if you draw attention to yourself, you will feel better about yourself.

One of the most redemptive things a Christian could do is stop reading so many books. Transformation comes through the Christian’s heart being transformed by the Spirit of God, as informed by the Word of God. If your self-help pursuits are not bringing you to that good end, then you may want to reconsider how you’re trying to change.

Paul framed change as happening in the spirit of our minds in Ephesians 4:23. He told the Christians in Ephesus that they needed to renew their minds. When he was talking to the Corinthians, he told them that the battle that breaks thought strongholds is not a fleshly endeavor, but a divine one (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
